**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding the Octet Rule:** The octet rule states that atoms are most stable when they have eight electrons in their valence shell. This is typically achieved through the formation of chemical bonds. 2. **Identifying a Molecule that Does Not Follow the Octet Rule:** We need to find an example of a molecule where one or more atoms do not have eight electrons in their valence shell. A common example is phosphorus pentafluoride (PF5). ...
